    I’m running a set up front and in the rear. They’re helpful on those hard hits.

    If you Offroad with weight in the rear, you will bottom out....

    Looks like you have hardly any travel before you bottom out in the front
    And what leafs are you running in the rear? Lift? Price?

    Yes, but you can run one superbump per side and leave the original in one of the slots.

    They compress way more than you would think. They aren't a hard pad like the OEM, they get more firm as they compress, so where you see his arm about touching there is hardly any resistance yet.

    The ones we got are for Tacoma, they fit perfectly fine on a first gen.

    What Luis said above.

    The Superbumps are designed to compress to stock bump stock height.

    They are very close to the LCA at all times. But I’m also at about 2.75” up front...

    In the rear I’m running Deavers. I’m running the Overland Expedition HD Leaf Pack sold by Archive Garage. They’re awesome. They give about 3” empty and 2” of lift with 500lbs in the rear.

    Key takeaways on these Superbumps for our 1st Gens. Add or correct, as needed.

    1) Upfront: We only need one per side and they mount on the most upfront position. Keep the old bump in place on the rear position.

    2) No warranty as they are not supported. Buy the Tacoma version.

    3) They can be angle cut to fit once installed.

    4) No spacers needed. Jack front up and use pipe wrench? to remove. Installs with allen key.

    Cut off and replaced the Catalytic Converter shield bolts which were rusted and about to fall off. Used the old Valve Cover leftover bolts and bought some new nuts and washers as the replacements. Solid.

    Interesting that they didn't tell me this yesterday. Just told me the ones for the tacoma and 2nd gen tundra are essentially the same and that either will work. Thanks for sharing.

    Been waiting 3 full weeks (21 days) for these HR SuperNovaV.4 bulbs. They are moving warehouses etc. Got tired of waiting and ordered the Katanas (supposedly the same bulb per one member here and several big gurl reviewers) for $50.

    I dislike cancelling the HR order but they still couldn’t give me a delivery date. Plus, they’re $179 vs. $50?

    Its a gamble here. They look the same. Perform the same. Packaged the same. Made at same factory. Same Cree tech. But... are they?

    5100’s are great, but I’d recommend the OME front coilovers If you’ve got room in the budget. I run them on my 2002 and I’m very happy so far. Whichever option you go with, if you order through toytec remember to use the 10% discount code:thumbsup:

    Well I contacted Brute Force Fab this afternoon about ordering sliders. I hope they get back to me soon.

    Saw a 4.7 water pump in box on craigslist for $80. Good deal or not?

    Can you be sure it's new? When mine was removed I requested to keep the old part and the water pump looked fine. Didn't look like a part that had 150k miles on it.

    You'll be pleased I think. We'll see what the long term longevity is, but up front they're good enough that I've installed them in the wife's 4Runner and they're even better out of her projectors.

    Ordered more parts today. Other than coolant, I have everything I need to start the job. Really can't find any videos on replacing the idler pulley and tensioner so that's going to be interesting.

    Opened up the Radiator Cap for the first time since installation last week. The new action on it is very noticeable. It has a little suction break coming from that bottom seal (when opened air temp cold). The old one I did not notice that anymore.

    I'm going to go with Zerex Asian blend. Confirmed it's got the right ingredients Toyota recommends. Basically the same as Aisin but without shipping costs.

    Do you think I should buy 3 gallons to be safe?

    3 should cover ya. If your doing all the fun job of the water pump, drain the block too. There’s plugs in each side. I usually get the passenger side one and it makes no mess when pulling the pump then

    Thanks. No water pump this time. Any advice on doing the idler pulley and tensioner? I can't find much info online so I assume it can't be that hard or many people would be asking for help.
